Vaping around kids and passive vape: Discussion

[jackcustard]

This may have been asked/discussed before so i apologise if it has. Now common sense tells me not to vape in front of the little one, so i don't. 

Haven't looked into any opinions or facts about it so this is a question as much as a talking point...

But is it safe...?

Even more is it acceptable to do?

One might answer the question to the other...

(I know the liquids are unsafe and CAN be poisonous if not kept correctly or away from kids and pets etc)

It's probably more dangerous to live in a built up area with lots of exaust fumes, as for vaping in front of children, it's probably personal choice, I can't see a problem as long as it's explained that it's being used as an exit from tobacco use and not a gateway to smoking

By all accounts there is no harm in passive vaping (i.e vaping around others) as for acceptability that is for you to decide. I have 2 adult boys & 1 12 years old & yes I vape in front of them in the same room .
Others may have differing opinions that is why you should decide for yourself.

We all are different but one saying I agree with 100% is show me a perfect parent & I will show you a liar.

Safe.. probably. Next to nothing to worry about in what comes out unless you puff like a pipe.

Acceptable? I guess we all have to make our own minds up about that. I would vape in a car with other people, but not kids....

(I would also refrain from Vaping generally in front of youngsters who are not old enough to understand....)

The notion of second-hand vaping is a fabrication/myth put about by
those that insist on ignoring the evidence.
Yes it is totally safe, so why would it not be acceptable?

The Smiths vape around their kids, their next door neighbours the Browns don't vape at all but they have a plug in air freshener. Who's kids are exposed to the most carcinogens? The Browns.

I would be worried if I was you , start agreeing with me is the start of a downward spiral

Had my daughter round for a coup.e of hours last week. Shes nearly 16 months didnt stop me having the occasional vape. Infact she was mesmorised so switched to a zero nic juice and blew some clouds around her she loved it

got four grandchildren and hubby and I vape around them ok not all the time, but their parents and us have no problem

much safer than standing behind the running cars exhaust fumes

Best way for me to answer this is, my son lives with his mum, she is not the healthiest person on the planety and her house is disgusting, my son 8 times out of 10 arrives at mine with a cough or cold, within 2 days of being around us and our vaping he goes home with no cough or cold.

I explain vaping to him and tell him he cant do it and i am very open with al my gear as he notices as soon as i get a new mod or topper as he calls them plus he watches my videos lol.

To me it is acceptable, to others it may not.

Me & partner vape infront of our 2 kids there's no harm in it as long as u explain it's not a proper fag

[jackcustard]

My little one is a year and a half, after hiding cigarettes and not smoking around her its feels awkward to sit in the same room like the caterpillar from alice in wonderland.

Guess its just a habit because of the dreaded stinkies and will become less noticable to me overtime.

My two youngsters don't mind it. In fact they haven't been ill for ages. I used to smoke around them, to my shame.
They ask which 'taste' I'm vaping.
One has asked if he can vape when he's older and I did explain why I vape and no he can't because he's not going to be as silly as me and start smoking.
They also ask if they can swear but I've told them not until they are 18 and not in front of me!

I did vape around my 6 year old but I felt guilty when he asked me to stop the other day saying it was getting on his chest . Tbh it was quite pungent ... Minty the toff in a aerotank on vamo , so I have decided against it for now and plus my OH is always banging about ecigs not being safe to the point I could stick the vamo up his you know what !!!
But kids have choices too and the little man has the right not to be exposed to vapour if he so wishes , so it's each to their own , no right or wrong answer
